Yes, the better your truck is the better your drivers are. Less repairs, faster in racing, and if you have the double gas tank, naturally they'll spend less time in the gas station. Another thing to remember is that when you hire a driver, get the one with the most experience. They cost more, but the rate of return is better. Also for those of you that don't know.... It is best not to hire drivers until you complete the story line. The reason is that your rating will be very high, and you can hire even more experienced drivers. I like drivers with over 1500 experience. Don't settle for less then 1200. When I completed the story line I had a 2200+ rating. So I hired 2 drivers, both with over 1800 experience. I had 2 fully loaded trucks that I used in the story line in reserve. You can't hire drivers higher than your own rating. After that, whenever I could get my hands on a new truck I just kept adding them to my fleet, hired drivers, and expanded my office's.
I hope this clarified things for you, and others.
